Welcome to
MuraliLab of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience @ IIT Jodhpur
What we do?
Study brain networks involved in controlling actions and thoughts
How we do it?
Using behavior, brain recordings (EEG), muscle activity (EMG), brain stimulation and computational modeling approaches
A cognitive and computational neuroscientist by training, I completed my doctoral studies in the Computational Neurosciences Lab with Prof. V. Srinivasa Chakravarthy, IIT Madras. Here, I built computational models to understand a mysterious clinical phenomenon in Parkinson's Disease, called Freezing of Gait (FOG), manifesting as context-based arrests in locomotion. My postdoctoral training was at Prof. Adam Aron's lab, Department of Psychology, University of California San Diego, USA, where I investigated the brain mechanisms involved in controlling one's actions.
I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Center for Brain Science and Applications, School of AIDE at IIT Jodhpur. Here my work focuses on developing strategies and applications that can modulate control over actions, perception and thoughts and understanding the underlying brain mechanisms using experimental (brain-imaging and non-invasive brain stimulation) and computational approaches.
